Is it normal that i'm annoyed by people complaining about their partners?

As a happily single person, I simply can't stand when people complain about their partners. I mean, they chose to be with that person, didn't they? Why endure it if their partner annoys them? They knew what were they getting into, right? So whenever I hear someone complaining about something annoying their partner does or whatever, I get perplexed and livid. Why? Are people really that frightened by the prospect of becoming single one day that they choose to put up with all that shit?

So is this kind of reaction normal?

    There are many times where a person falls in love with someone else, only to find out later that that isnt who they really are. That can send someone for a loop and cause them to complain because they really do love that person, but dont know how to get them back to the person that they loved.

    So you think people should dump their partners because they occasionally annoy them?

    You've never been annoyed with anyone, ever, I assume?

      And yes, I have been annoyed with people, but I tend to lose my tolerance for such people as time goes on.

      I'm talking more about all those who complain all the time, not just occasionally. Add the fact that they treat me with condescension because I choose to be single and free of all that shit and a chap can get flustered

        That's not what you said in your post.

        Sounds like two totally separate issues.

    I agree with you totally! I have been in those positions before, a lot of my friends are with jerks (At least that's how they have described their loved one)

    But then I have also been in positions were I have talked to friends about issues in my relationships because no matter how great a relation is- there's always problems.

    What I can't stand is "I'm thinking about dumping him/her ..." To me it's gross, and was gross even before I found out that my recent ex had thoughts of dumping me for three months before he made it happen.

    As soon as you feel like you might want to end it, end it because something isn't right to begin with.

    I agree with this. I don't understand why so many people are desperate to where they are with somebody they have problems with. People need to learn to be happy alone before they deserve somebodies companionship because they will bring them down otherwise.

    Why don't you ditch the complainers, then? If you truly believe problems can be solved so easily, why don't you lead by example and calmly remove from your life those people who frustrate you so much?

    Your post could say the same about absolutely anything. All these people complaining about their jobs when they could quit. All these people complaining about their bodies when they could change their routine. Their friends. Politics. Neighbours. The fact is that almost all personal problems can be solved very simply if you choose to ignore practicality and/or emotions, but a solution to an practical, emotive problem which requires that is incomplete to the point where it's useless.

    It's completely unfair to say that they must have known what they were getting into. There is obviously no knowing the future. There are only chances. All people have a right to take chances in pursuit of happiness without having to deal with your negativity.

    Try to think more deeply.

    I'm with you, buddy, but I've also been in their shoes before.
